The illustrative tap on this page is a waterfall design, made to pour an open sheet of water rather than a jet. You can choose its finish and whether it comes with a deck plate, then send the specification as a quote request.
Waterfall taps are often bought for a spa-like room, but many are fitted as replacements on an existing basin or worktop. That is where the deck plate earns its place. It hides marks or spare holes left by the previous tap and gives a neat base on stone or timber. The buyer's question is less about style and more about what is already there.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Chrome, matte black, brushed nickel and brushed gold are shown, four of six finishes. The deck plate option, included or none, is captured in the summary but not yet pictured. A full version would show both. A plate changes the tap's footprint and draws the eye to the base, particularly when it contrasts with the worktop.

Why a configurator suits basin taps
Replacement buyers are an under-served group. They are not redesigning the bathroom; they want a better tap that suits the holes they already have in the basin or worktop. A few questions up front can settle it: hole count, worktop material, and whether old marks need covering. The configurator then recommends the deck plate where it helps.
Waterfall spouts also behave differently from standard outlets. The open lip suits a basin with enough depth to take the sheet of water without splashing. Showing the tap over a suitable basin, and noting which basins pair well, heads off the complaint that the new tap splashes everywhere. A shallow cloakroom basin is a poor match.
Six finishes, with and without a plate, gives twelve combinations. If the plate is a separate component, that is six tap images plus six plate images layered together. Stock is simpler too: the plate becomes an add-on SKU rather than doubling the tap variants. Reordering and warehouse management get easier as a result.
How a production version would be built
For a waterfall tap the hero image should show water running, because the flow is why people choose it. That means a photographed or rendered pour per finish, plus a dry shot for detail. The plate can be layered underneath when photographed at the same angle. Inputs are SKUs for tap and plate, finish codes and basin pairing guidance. Orders go to the Shopify basket with the plate as a linked item, or to a quote for hotel and spa projects.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Deck Plate choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if deck plates can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about basin tap configurators
Could a deck plate be recommended automatically for replacement installations?
Yes. A short step asking whether the tap replaces an existing one, and how many holes the basin or worktop has, can recommend the plate automatically. A two-hole or three-hole surface under a single-hole tap is the clearest case. Customers can still override the suggestion if they prefer the tap without it.
Should the product image show water flowing?
For a waterfall tap, yes. The sheet of water is the feature, and a dry image undersells it. Running water is hard to photograph consistently across six finishes, so rendering the flow is often more practical. I would lead with the pour and add a dry close-up of the spout lip for detail.
Can brushed gold and bronze be told apart on screen?
With careful photography they can. Both are warm, but brushed gold is brighter and more yellow, while bronze is darker and browner. Shooting them in the same set under the same light, and placing them side by side in the swatch row, makes the difference plain. Calibrating against samples stops them drifting together.
Will the configurator work for hotel and spa contracts?
Yes. The same configurator can end in a quote for contract buyers, with quantity, finish and plate choice per room type. Specifiers can save the configuration and attach it to their schedule. Contract pricing can be applied after login, so retail customers still see standard prices on the same page.
